And this mouse hermitted :)

Hi every one :) hope you all had a fantastic weekend hermitting ????
well the kettle has boiled and you will pleased to know I have stocked up on choccie biscuits for you all .... and  this week there are NO yummy goodies to drool over ..... plenty of stitching though heheheh
The weather has continued to be rather damp and wet and there has been that much rain these last few days I am starting to rust and there are frogs swimming in the back garden ;0 ..lol but last night there was a glorious double rainbow which I managed to capture :)


On Wednesday it was my turn to go to Sally's for our sal .... I didn't get as much done again as I hoped as I found I was a stitch short on the first long flower on the right hand side  , I only noticed when I had done the other one and was putting the border in WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ........ needless to say ,you see why the frogs were here !!!!! well I haven't had the heart to rip it out  yet but I will do as it will certainly bug me if I fudge it ...lol ...  the other week I found some  floristry foam in the charity shop which will be the perfect size for this to be a no sew cube fingers crossed :0


well Friday the start of the hermie weekend for me ... I certainly got a numb butt as I managed to finish a birthday present for a friend who's birthday is at the beginning of next month sooo I can't show you just yet but I think you will like it ...lol... I am just putting it together and hopefully it will be in the post in the next few days with strict instructions not to open until the big day(not that that will stop her hahaha)


Saturday dawned not too bad and as DH was going away for the weekend I quickly did the necessary h ****k  and settled down in the afternoon and worked on the February Cottage SAL by CCN and finished that month whooop whooop ...... I changed the threads on the house to prickly pear and house wine and made the wee birds into  robins ... I was really glad that I had got that one finished .. for some reason I didn't seem to enjoy it as much as the Jan and the March one that I got to start on the same day as the finish as I was on such a roll heheheheh


Sunday I had promised Cindy (from FS  too ) that I would work on Afternoon Tea my HAED  that she had twisted my wee arm to buy and start last year hehehe ... and has been nagging me ever since to get some more done on it .... sooo I finally managed to get some stitches in on it ..... Cindy does hers over two .... I didn't have enough fabric or the space to have something 32 inches by 40 inches so I opted to do it over one .... you can actually see the difference in the photos which I am really pleased about ...lol .... I worked on it for a few hours before I had to stop and work on something bigger as my eyes were struggling to stay awake due to being up until 2.45 pm the night before reading as I wasn't tired !!!!!!!
so I picked up the dawn of spring and worked on that a bit .... it is wonderful seeing all the different versions on the group ... hopefully I will work out how to do a collage of photos and bob them up on the groups blog for you all to see:)


well Saturday was TUSAL day and unfortunately DH had taken the camera with him and soo I am a wee bit late with this one although I did let daffy know on her blog post  so froggy decided he wanted in on the photo this week ..lol
I've taken a picture of the pots of potatoes for you at the back of the pond .... DH has got some peas to set and they will hopefully grow up the pond netting serving two purposes .. to keep the fish cool and so we don't have to stake them ..lol


Friday night DD1 and I took Master Bentley down to the park for his last walk of the day and took the tennis balls for him to chase and bring back sooo I shall bob a few photos of him in action so to speak as I know you have all missed him heheheh 
well I shall go and make you all another drink while you have a nosy at all the photos :)
